Then when you do something like whereis samba, it won't come back empty and force you to search in /usr/ports for the desired port directory. As for the original question, I'd install samba36, which is the latest port. The configuration is still the same as previous releases so go for the latest one. Samba has some security issues but it rocks as a file server for *nix machines. I've used it with great success to allow M$ clients to share files. I do not use it for print services however, only file sharing. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Default Samba port?
Hello list, Can anyone advise me the appropriate Samba port to install - the handbook refers to samba34, but I see samba35 and samba36 in in ports. This is for a home server, so I'm not necessarily looking for production standard, but something that just works on RELEASE-8.2 amd64.
